"Hey, Yoshi-kun. I think you’re——"... more>>

Hearing that voice for the first time stopped me in my tracks. On my way home from school. On the playing field of our junior high, and at the bookshop in front of the station. And then in the empty lot where the white cat slept. Shiina Yuki, the strange girl who somehow knew all about me, always approached me like that.

We laughed, cried, got angry, held hands. Again and again, we repeated those disappearing memories and ephemeral promises. That’s why I never knew. I never knew the value of Yuki’s smiles or the meaning of her tears. Nor even the singular sentiment behind her many 'Nice to meet you’s.

This is a captivating, heartrending tale of meetings and partings. <<less

Go out and exterminate the [Heroes] who seek retribution against the world. ... more>>

Heroes, a special force that saves the world. Within the dreams of boys and girls, they are lauded as heroes. Boys and girls, lauded as “heroes” within their dreams, were simply defeating monsters by order of the beautiful goddess.

――――All while ignorant of the monsters’ being *humans*.

[Heroes], a special force that destroys the world. Parasitized by the mysterious creature known as “Goddess”, the dreaming Boys and Girls changed into mindless beasts dedicated to massacre. Devoid of malice, of hostility. Simply a one-sided, endless war driven solely by justice. This balance was maintained by 〚Charon〛, an elite hero extermination unit spearheaded by the Boy Azuma.

One day, the Girl Kaguya, who was researching on how to revert [Heroes] into humans, was ordered to join the group 〚Charon〛. However, for Azuma and the rest of the unit who had lost everything in a past disaster, Kaguya’s existence was difficult to accept.

The Boy who wishes to bring down the heroes, the Girl who wishes to save the heroes. The two clash and together they proceed to the battlefield――! <<less

I became possessed by a story where I, as a servant, would give my body and heart to the villainous duke and die after being used. Originally, I was Roselia, who had become the Duke’s long-term pawn, only to be exposed by the male protagonist, the Crown Prince, and sentenced to death.

In order not to attract the Duke’s attention, she decided to cross-dress.

Wait… But… why…? Even though I’m dressed as a man, why are they taking me?!

Before she knew it, she had become a male servant instead of the duke’s maid.

***

“Your Grace…?”

She could feel his hot breath pouring onto her forehead. Being this close, she felt her heart pounding wildly, fearing that her chest, wrapped tightly in fabric, might give away her true gender to the duke.

“I told you, Antonio. I find what’s hidden as if I were a ghost.”

It felt as if he were referring to her chest, wrapped tightly in fabric, and cold sweat formed on her back.

Klaus’s hot lips drew dangerously close to her ear.

“I need to know what you’re hiding.”

His breath on her ear and their thighs pressed closely together felt scorching. She gazed back at Klaus’s navy-blue eyes, filled with confusion. It felt as though an invisible thread, stretched taut with tension, hung perilously between them.

Inwardly, Roselia lamented her extremely awkward and perplexing situation.

Come on, Your Grace. Does it really not matter if I’m a man?

This stands at the forefront of strategy guides to Life (a shitty video game)!... more>>

Life is a bad video game. This commonplace phrase is, unfortunate as it might be, the truth.

After all, Life has no simple, easy rules. The rules it does have are nothing but irrational and unfair. The strong claim that Life has a high level of freedom, but the weak have no choice but to cope with an overwhelmingly disadvantageous design.

That’s why it’s a sh*t game.

Since I, Japan’s leading gamer who has experienced and mastered a multitude of games, say so, there can be no mistake.

— However, that person, on top of having mastered gaming to about the same level as I, declared to me that Life is a god-tier game.

Destined to be a top-tier character, that person is the school’s perfect heroine, Hinami Aoi. And to top it off, she even says she will teach me the rules of Life?

…… Normally, I wouldn’t believe such a thing. However, Hinami Aoi is someone who does not fit into a frame like ‘normal’ at all!

However, one night as she walked the path that lay on the boundary between the forest and the city, she met an encounter that would irrevocably change the course of her life.

“Would you like to marry me?”

The story is staged in the distant future within our own Milky Way Galaxy, approximately in the late 36th century. A portion of the galaxy is filled with terraformed worlds inhabited by interstellar traveling human beings. For 150 years two mighty space powers have intermittently warred with each other: the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance.... more>>

Within the Galactic Empire, based on mid 19th century Prussia, an ambitious military genius, Reinhard von Müsel, later conferred Reinhard von Lohengramm, is rising to power. He is driven by the desire to free his sister Annerose, who was taken by the Kaiser as a concubine. Later, he wants not only to end the corrupt Goldenbaum dynasty but also to defeat the Free Planets Alliance and to unify the whole galaxy under his rule.

In the Free Planets Alliance Star Fleet is another genius, Yang Wen Li. He originally aspired to become a historian through a military academy, and joined the tactical division only out of need for tuition money. He was rapidly promoted to an admiral because he demonstrated excellence in military strategy in a number of decisive battles and conflicts. He becomes the archrival of Reinhard, though they highly respect one another. Unlike Reinhard he is better known for his underdog victories and accomplishments in overcoming seemingly impossible odds and mitigating casualties and damages due to military operations.

As a historian, Yang often predicts the motives behind his enemies and narrates the rich history of his world and comments on it. One of his famous quotes is: “There are few wars between good and evil; most are between one good and another good.”

Besides the two main heroes, the story is full of vivid characters and intricate politics. All types of characters, from high nobility, admirals and politicians, to common soldiers and farmers, are interwoven into the story. The story frequently switches away from the main heroes to the Unknown Soldier fighting for his life on the battlefield.

There is a third neutral power nominally attached to the Galactic Empire called the Phezzan Dominion, a planet-state (city-state on a galactic scale) which trades with both warring powers. There is also a Terraism cult, which claims that humans should go back to Earth, gaining popularity throughout the galaxy. Throughout the story executive political figures of Phezzan in concert with the upper-hierarchy of the Terraism cult orchestrate a number of conspiracies to shift the tide of the galactic war so that it may favor their objectives. <<less
